Column: Your sexual health is a priority

By Sophie Teague | Jan. 29

"Being open and honest about your sexual health is scary. Stigma related to sex and sexual health is deep rooted in our society, and women in particular are often judged for discussing their sexual behaviors and desires. Shame about sex and sexual health has overtime become embedded in policy, school, social media and religious institutions. And these stigmas are dangerous."

Column: North Carolina's judicial elections are crucial for reproductive rights

By Sophie Teague | Oct. 11

"Our generation has the power and passion for political change, we just have to take that to the ballot box. Voting sends a direct message to those in power about what rights we demand from them. Whether it be voting rights, LGBTQ rights, or reproductive rights, we have the ability to push for them. Our passion must be taken to the polls because our reproductive freedom is on the line in 2022."

By Sophie Teague | Sep. 12

"Little can be done, however, to enforce the everyday interactions that result in the stigmatizing, belittling and disempowerment of female and female-presenting renters, as they are informal breaches in a longstanding culture of inequity."

Column: Imposter syndrome for women in higher education and the workplace

By Sophie Teague | Mar. 23

"I am inspired to lead and learn just as my mom has, and to inspire more women to see themselves in success. I have been lucky to have professors and professionals who are role models for me and for others, but there is still much more work to be done to make sure women continue to feel represented."

Column: Dismantling our stereotypes about gender and music

By Sophie Teague | Feb. 20

"Interests, whether they be sports teams or music artists, should not be gendered. Gendering these interests creates harmful stereotypes and influences which interests society places more value on. Next time someone expresses criticism for someone’s music taste or appreciation of art in general, ask them where that criticism comes from."

Column: Navigating relationships — or "situationships" — in college

By Sophie Teague | Feb. 7

" ... it’s important to remember that the people that we’re dealing with are human and have emotions. Ask questions about what your partner wants and don’t just assume everyone is after the same thing. We can all find meaningful connections that fulfill us, even in this disconnected era of college dating culture."
